The authors’ findings can be supported by examples from the literature of effective
interventions, such as the work of Bridgeman et al (2012) in maxillofacial clinics. In this setting,a nurse-led approach has been used to prompt patients to consider changes to alcohol consumption while having sutures removed.
Because of its success in this setting, the approach has been used in other
maxillofacial departments under the campaign ‘Having A Word’, which emphasises the informality
of the style of conversations.
It is recommended, therefore, that other clinical areas should be proactive in incorporating such conversations in their practice. It is hoped that use of the Drinkaware Unit Calculator and online training from Public Health England, will help healthcare professionals tackle the growing public health problem of harmful alcohol consumption and associated complications.
